Two Pontiac women are teaming up to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

JoDana Kestner and Korri Mehrkens are heading up a vendor fair, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at Pontiac City Hall. They're raising money for Joanna's Jaywalkers, the team that participates in the Walk MS in Peoria every year in September.

The team was formed in honor of Kestner's mother, Joanna Shibley, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007.

"My mom is quite the fighter," Kestner said of her mother, who she said looks fabulous at 52. "She gets up every day and she's actually the caregiver for her father-in-law. I don't know how she takes care of herself, let alone anybody else, but she does. She gets around and does probably more than I do."

Kestner said that the group has been raising money for the walk for three years, but has walked for a few years prior to that. Last year, the group had an auction, raising a little more than $5,000.

"We don't necessarily have a goal. We just do however many fundraisers we have time to do and we just hope for the best at all of them and turn in whatever we raise," Kestner said.

Some of the vendors that will be available at the fair include Posh, which is organic lotions and body sprays, Paparazzi Accessories, which is jewelry, Vault Denim, which is denim wear for women, All About Buttercream, which are cakes and cupcakes, Essential Bodywear, otherwise known as the Bra Lady, Velata, which is an assortment of chocolates, Grace Adele, which is purses and other accessories, and Origami Owl, which is jewelry. Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Scentsy and other vendors will also be there.

"This is a good time to do last minute Valentine's Day shopping," Kestner said, adding that the proceeds go to help a good cause.

In addition to the vendor fair, there will be a dinner special at DeLongs' Casual Dining and Spirits on Feb. 11, where when anyone that orders food between 5 and 7 p.m., 10 percent of all sales will be donated to Joanna's Jaywalkers.
